The absence of box office updates from Taran Adarsh for Dhurandhar 2: The Revenge has become a major talking point. This is unusual, as he regularly shares day-wise collections even for smaller films.
Given that Dhurandhar 2 is setting strong records, his silence has raised questions in trade circles. Many are wondering why there are no updates from a key industry tracker.
One possible reason being discussed is the controversy around his early review. Taran Adarsh had rated the film 4.5 out of 5 and called it a masterpiece. This quickly drew attention and also criticism.
The situation intensified after Komal Nahta made an indirect remark. He suggested that a "big trade analyst" reviewed a film without watching it. Though no names were mentioned, many linked it to Taran Adarsh.
After this episode, Taran Adarsh has not posted daily box office figures for the film. This has led to speculation that he may be avoiding further controversy or trolling for now.
Another factor could be the lack of official data. Jio Studios has not released detailed day-wise collections. This makes it harder for analysts to share verified numbers.
In such cases, trade experts rely on distributor estimates. These figures can vary and may not always be consistent. This could also explain the delay in updates.
Meanwhile, industry sources estimate that Dhurandhar 2 has grossed around Rs 320 crores worldwide in just two days, including previews. The film has made a strong start at the box office.
However, in terms of footfalls, Shah Rukh Khan's Jawan still holds the opening record for Bollywood films. The comparison continues to be part of ongoing discussions.
